Reminder that the US military budget is larger than the military spending of the next nine largest countries combined.

Over half goes to private defense contractors.

This is the military-industrial complex Eisenhower warned of — on steroids.

How a flawed idea is teaching millions of kids to be poor readers For decades, schools have taught children the strategies of struggling readers, using a theory about reading that cognitive scientists have repeatedly debunked. And many teachers and parents don't kno...

This article is going on seven years old, but I keep sharing it because sadly it refuses to stop being relevant --

Hegseth gives Anthropic CEO until Friday to back down in AI safeguards fight "The only reason we're still talking to these people is we need them and we need them now."

The Trump regime is using AI for mass surveillance of Americans, and plans to integrate AI into their weapons systems. They are trying to extort Anthropic for refusing to go along.

The oligarchs and their would-be King want to make human beings like us obsolete.

They’ve gutted the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)—the DoE is enabling irresponsible development to meet their 7/4 go-live deadline

They want/plan to do unregulated small nuclear plants next to data centers…first prototypes are supposed to go live on 7/4…what could go wrong from the move-fast-break-stuff club?!?!

Wow.

All I see on my Twitter timeline are reporters parsing every quote from AOC in Germany, trying to mock them for incoherence or inaccuracy, while a demented old man who can’t string sentences together or stay awake sits in the Oval, while the legacy media happily sanewashes his quotes.

Please send this jaw-dropping exchange to every MAGA who still thinks the DOJ isn’t blatantly protecting Trump and his cabal of wealthy pedophiles.

Kool and the Gang. You know which one.

I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside.

What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?

I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

Besides all the sexism, doesn’t occur to any of them how incredibly expensive this would be to administer

A new study from conservative economists shows immigrants benefit our economy significantly.

White paper is here: www.cato.org/white-paper/...

Fiber is your friend—respectfully, fuck salads. If you like fish, nom some smoked salmon with Triscuits for a snack. Eat black beans on a whole grain tortilla or with brown rice, toss on some goat cheese. Have some sort of veg on the side. Check out Goodles pasta. And, have Cheerios for breakfast

We need to get it broadly understood that Stephen Miller's ethnic cleansing will result in a permanent metastasized immigrant carceral state and paramilitary warfare on US streets that goes on *for years.*

The internal logic of his agenda dictates this of necessity.

"Oh my gosh, it was so nice to see you! Have a lovely day, fuck ICE!"
"Oh you too hon! Stay safe in that traffic, fuck ICE!'

- two older Minnesota ladies, bidding farewell after the protest

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

If the admin's strategic goal was to break public resistance to immigration enforcement activities, it was a tactical mistake to go to the Twin Cities.

Absolute rage—these men need to pay a price—no reconciliation without consequences that make them feel the terror and despair they inflicted on others

THEY USED A FIVE YEAR OLD AS BAIT

Yes, your citizens will be good Serfs, grateful you rich folk are magnanimous enough to let them scrounge for scraps in the muck…Karp’s vision for the future

There is no courage in the Republican party. If we wait for them to find their spines, we will wait until the end of the world - which at this rate is going to be coming sooner rather than later.

Question to @housedemocrats.bsky.social

Exactly how would body cams improve this situation where ICE took an elderly citizen from his house in shorts and crocs in sub freezing temperatures.

I’ll wait. 🙇🏽‍♀️

Today, it’s not your vote that determines whether the government brutalizes you or sends officers to your door. It’s your neighbors’ vote.

If you’re ok with this happening to Minnesotans, don’t get comfortable. You won’t be exempt for long.

In the end, a lawless administration comes for everyone.

It is — journalist Jeff Sharlet calls it a slow civil war in his latest book, The Undertow

You see, he did this because he was a violent, evil man. And worse, he wants us all to know he is a violent, evil man. Why else would he release the video?
